Martyn’s Law to Reshape Hotel Security Practices in the UK
The UK has enacted the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, known as Martyn’s Law, which introduces new security requirements for hotels and other public venues. This legislation mandates formal risk assessments and staff training to prepare for potential terrorist threats. Hotels will need to integrate security measures into daily operations, affecting front-of-house procedures and internal communication. The law aims to ensure that preparedness becomes a routine part of business operations, with implementation expected to be phased in by 2027.
